M adagascar's E upleridae carnivores are perhaps the least studied and most threatened
family of C arnivora. Investigating potential direct and indirect competition among these …

Human populations continue to increase and encroach on remaining natural habitats
worldwide, resulting in greater numbers and larger ranges of commensal exotic carnivores …

Activity patterns reflect adaptations to local biological and physical conditions. We estimated
the activity patterns of 3 mesocarnivore species in a semiarid environment in northeastern …

Agonistic encounters among carnivores can be potentially avoided or minimized by shifts in
daily activity patterns. Here, we investigated the temporal ecology of mesocarnivores which …

Temporal partitioning of activity among sympatric species can be an important mechanism
for species coexistence. Further, if exotic and native species overlap temporally, there is …

Mesocarnivores constitute a diverse and often abundant group of species, which are
increasingly occupying hweigher trophic levels within multi‐use landscapes. Yet, we know …

Interspecific competition within a carnivore guild can result in segregation along dietary,
spatial, and temporal scales. Species interactions and resulting avoidance behavior can …

Complex interactions such as interference competition and predation, including intraguild
predation, are now recognized as important components in animal community structure. At …

The potential for strong competition among small sympatric carnivores results in a need for
coexistence strategies whereby competitors partition along spatial, temporal and dietary …

Carnivores face important anthropogenic threats in agricultural areas from habitat loss and
fragmentation, disturbance by domestic free-roaming dogs and cats, and direct hunting by …
